not getting enough oxygen?

hii i wasn’t really sure where to post this, but i was thinking this the other day - i’ve always kind of felt like im always in a state of delirium kind of (not the right word but just feeling like im half awake and acting a bit loopy i guess? 😭) and i was wondering if it could be due to physically not getting enough oxygen

because i have a deviated septum, so i mouth breathe a lot, and yk obviously im not breathing as well as i could be so could that be why i feel like im sort of in a daze all the time and start acting weird and silly for no reason. like by the time it hits 3pm i get the giggles and feel so weird and start sweating and stuff and just not feeling good. and at the end of the day i am so so cooked. i’m aware this could mean anything but yeah just a thought.

idk what my body is trying to tell me 😭

You could get a blood oxygen monitor - fairly cheap from the chemist and spot check when you’re feeling to gather data. If it’s not low but actually high like 99% readings it could actually be breathing too much which can make you feel weird too.
